Description
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tire tread showing my new design,
it being understood that the tread pattern repeats
circumferentially throughout the outer circumference and shoulder
of a tire, the opposite side perspective view being identical
thereto;
FIG. 2 is a full front elevation view of the tire tread thereof of
FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 3 is a side view of the tire thread thereof of FIG. 1.
In the drawings, the dark stippled surface shading represents the
recessed groove portions of the tire tread having a depth as best
illustrated along the top and bottom edges of FIG. 2. The broken
line disclosure of the tire sidewall and inner bead is for
illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed
design.
